Ok all you shark toothers, my daughter wants to put all of our shark teeth into her new aquarium! Do any of you that have aquariums see any problems she might have with this? It is fresh water and most of the teeth have not been cleaned.

I have a Saltwater tank. I would boil then for 10 minutes in water and you should be good to go.

Fresh water will generally kill any saltwater parasites or bacteria. But, boiling them and then letting them dry in the sun is a good idea. You can also do the quick treatment, wipe them with a bleach solution, 3 parts water to one part bleach. Rinse them under fresh water completely, and let them dry. Before anyone freaks out with the bleach, it is safe to use because it rinses clean unlike soap.
I own fish stores and have used sharks teeth in the past in a few tanks...although, they do tend to grow algae on them fairly easily. But, other then that it shouldn't be a problem.

Fossilized or organic shark teeth?
I keep a majority of my fossilized teeth in my tank after I rinse them off. I've been doing it for years with no problems.
